What’s up?

Hi. Hold on. I have to get more popcorn. It’s addictive.

What makes it so addictive?

‘Cause I have the gene for addictiveness, I guess. So if anything is good, I get addicted to it. Okay. No more popcorn!

So, what else are you addicted to?

If I told you that, I might have to kill you. Well, Corn Pops. You know, Corn Pops, popcorn, it all goes together. Do I have any cheese on my nose? You know how you can’t see your nose? Do I have any cheese on it?

You have negative amounts of cheese on your nose.

I’m addicted to love and sex, but only on the weekends. You don’t really have to put that in there, because then people will want to come over and stuff. But I’m very busy on the weekends, reading genetics and recovering from volleyball tournaments.

You look up the word "volleyball" in my dictionary, and you will find a picture of blood and guts spewed all over an elementary school gym.

I love pain! The pain is what makes it good. If there was no pain, everyone would play it. We get bruises, and they’re fun to show off. We shower naked together. And even when we’re in away-team locker rooms, we walk around naked. People think we’re weird. We’re known as "The Naked Team."

Speaking of naked, what was it like dancing in Andrew Suseno’s spring dance piece last semester?

Well, we didn’t dance naked, but it was certainly like dancing in a soap opera. People quit, people were doing other things, we were basically making it all up as we were going along. It was fun, though. It was damn fun. It was a great experience.

What other impassioning, flaming, fiery activities do you regularly participate in?

Sleep, and eating, and volleyball. That’s about my life! Wahoo! Ask me in the spring time. I’ll be like, sleep, eat, drink...eat, drink, man, woman. No sleep. Because there will be no volleyball. Mmm, popcorn. I’m going to make my bed now. Not like it is going to stay made. [Throws the covers over the sheets.] How does that look?

Kinda rumply, if you ask me.

Fine! You don’t have to sleep in it, unless you want to.

Why, Christina!

Um...I said too much. I wish you could record laughing, because that’s the best part. Because I snort, and that’s kind of funny. Oh my god, I can’t believe I’m saying this.

Let’s stop laughing, or I am going to spontaneously combust. Do you love social psychology like you love popcorn?

I do! Social psych is great! Yay social psych! Professor Plous is so cute. [Falls off the bed.]

What’s wrong with you? Did your mother ever drop you on your head?

Actually, I think my dad almost stepped on me a few times, but I don’t think that counts. I lost my balance! It happens! Anyway, Plous has these dimples when he smiles, and he gives you these examples and tries to be seductive, leaning on the desk and looking at you. And you’re thinking, he is such a cutie and such a nerd at the same time. But he is so smart.

I hear that you are from Oklahoma. Do you live on a farm?

Yes, and we have cows, and horses, and pigs, and no running water! And we ride our horses to school every day. But before we go to school we have to milk the cows and gather the eggs from the chickens, and so then we make this HUUUGE breakfast, because that’s the most important meal of the day, at 5 a.m.

Yum.

It was good.

Does your face ever hurt while you’re laughing? Do you ever need to stop in the middle and go get an ice pack?

I know what you mean, because like right now it kinda hurts. It gets tired, and you have to sort of [mushes her face around] and then it feels better.
